Is it still possible to buy 93150 or 78360 new from dealers?
Anybody had any recent (buying) experience of this lately?

I got a modern 62510H Jubilee from my AD for my 1675 GMT a few years ago. I was initially told it wasn't available, but perseverance paid off.

I believe the basic Rolex policy is to provide only the most modern version of the appropriate bracelet. However, if you have a particular relationship with an AD, it seems there are strings that can be pulled.

As above, but inquired 2 weeks ago. It needs 6 weeks to arrive but 62510h is available from my AD, not sure about the ones you listed though.

I got one as well end of 2019.

To the OP, let me know about the 78360. Still would like to add this as well.

I would certainly expect so.

Until just a few short years ago the 93150 was still the bracelet that came standard on the Sub 14060M. There are many thousands of those watches that have been made over the years and these bracelets are the only ones that will fit on them.

I think that they will be available well into the future.

Thx for replies so far all - I'm looking for a nice bracelet for my 1680 Sub from '78 and there doesn't seem to be a lot about second-hand either.

Should we call your Authorized Dealer for you?

I bought a brand new 78360 + end links from an AD one month ago. Show them your watch and they should order the matching bracelet. Rolex makes money out of spare parts after all...

The 78360 was not originally fitted to the 1680.
In 1978, they came with a 93150 and end links 580.
Unless you necessarily want a clasp with the year corresponding to your watch (code C or VC), ask your AD if it is still possible to have a new one, the price will be cheaper than used...

As said ^^ just go to your local AD - I think it'll be in the region of £1000-1200 new. That's what RSC are charging me to fit a 78360 onto my Explorer 2. Seems to be cheaper than buying used.
